She said: “Some of our board members are now making plans to step down due to other commitments and so we are on the lookout for new volunteers to take up the mantle.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for those aged 18+ to be part of the vital behind-the-scenes efforts required to run the Fullarton Community Hub and make it the best it can be."
Donna added: “The roles and responsibilities are varied and full details have been hosted on the council’s Community Planning Partnership website.
“We are excited to be able to give community members the opportunity to share their skills and talents with us through a range of exciting volunteering opportunities.
“The team are ready to welcome new members on board and are looking forward to meeting with everyone at our upcoming open day to get to know you, share the great work we do here and our future aspirations for our lively community hub.”
Based in Fullarton Community Centre, known now as Fullarton Hub, the Community Association was formed in 1976.
In 2013 they took ownership of the land from North Ayrshire Council as part of a community asset transfer and revealed plans to raise funding to build a new community centre.
The New Fullarton Community Hub was opened in 2017 – funded primarily by the Big Lottery with additional backing from NAC – and now employs seven staff and delivers a range of vital services for the local community. They work alongside a range of partners to do so.
Fullarton Community Association also continues to support more than 500 members via the Choices Food Larder and a range of other projects delivered in partnership with communities and North Ayrshire Council to help individuals, families, children and young people to achieve their ambitions and overcome inequalities.
The community centre runs a host of classes and support groups too, such as recovery support, access to adult learning and health, fitness and well-being opportunities.
